Quick sausage rolls

Ingredients

Serves: 12

500g pork sausagemeat
1 (500g) packet puff pastry
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 beaten egg

Method

Prep:15min › Cook:20min › Ready in:35min

Preheat the oven to 200 C / Gas mark 4.
Unfold the puff pastry sheets, and cut along the fold lines of each sheet to form 6 equal squares for a total of 12 squares. Brush each square with mustard. Divide sausage into 12 pieces, and roll into small logs. Place one log on each square. Roll pastry around the sausage, and seal with a bit of beaten egg. Place rolls onto an ungreased baking tray, and brush the tops with the rest of the egg.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the rolls are puffed and golden. I usually watch after 10 minutes or so to make sure they don't burn. These freeze (unbaked) very well.

Sausage & Egg Pie

Sausage and egg pie

Preparation Time: 

25 mins

Cooking Time: 

30 mins

Serves: 

8

- 

Ingredients: 

350g (12oz) ready-made shortcrust pastry
4 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
900g (2lb) good quality sausage meat
1 bunch spring onions, sliced
1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs
4 large British Lion eggs, beaten

Method: 

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/Fan 180C/400F/Gas Mark 6. For the filling, mix the sausage meat together with the onions and herbs. Thinly roll out two thirds of the pastry and use to line the base and sides of a 20cm/8in, deep, loose-based cake tin. Trim the pastry level with the top of the tin.
2. Brush the pastry with 15ml/3tsp of the mustard. Spoon in two thirds of the sausage meat, then make 4 deep holes, large enough to crack the eggs into. Carefully crack an egg into each hole. Cover with the remaining sausage meat, pressing it down firmly around the edges.
3. Thinly roll out the remaining pastry and cut out a 20cm/8in round, using the cake tin as a guide. Brush with remaining mustard and place mustard side down on top of the sausage meat. Brush the top with the remaining beaten egg; fold the edges of the pastry on the sides of the tin, down over the edge of the lid; crimp to seal. Make a steam hole in the centre and use any trimmings to make decorations for the top. Brush with remaining egg.
4. Stand the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool in the tin for 15minutes before cutting into wedges to serve warm. Alternatively, cool, then chill and serve cold with salad.
